A tew days after the defalcation of Spitler. became public, one of the Democratic stumpers thatinfeste the Court-house in this place, had been to Pickens' school house to make a speech. ;.

Our Democratic retrenchers just retrenched the "poor plowhold- ers" out of $59,893.15. This 'same Democratic Legislature passed just 184 laws of a general na- ture, which , cost. the dear people, in per diem and mileage jof the members of that body, $653.00 each.

We ask in all candor what are our school houses for? and we desire a answer. :- ; ' The young men of Findlay made an effort to organize a Literary Society, and would have succeeded had not a suitable room for the occasion been denied them. . They had the promise of a room in the West end building, but. for reasons best known to them selves, the Board of Education with drew their promise on the evening appointed for the 'meeting, and the boys were disappointed.' - Now, we do not wish to criticize the action of the Board, but we do think theboya should be furnished with a room for tiM occasion. - What are our school houses for, ifi not for the improvement of the minds ot the rising generation ? And what is better calculated to - develope the mind, quicken the judgment, and strengthen the understanding than a good Literary and Debating Society ? We hope tne Board wui consider this matter. Give the young men a chance to improve the hours they might otherwise spend at the saloons, and they will have no reason to regret it in afier days. A YOUNG MAN. For the Jeffersonian. COUNTY EXPENSE FUND $44,000. The editor of tho Courier in last week's issue attempts to answer my tormer article on Hancock Coantv democratic finances. He does not wx deny a single statement and really admits all my statements, except the one regarding the County Expense r und in 18C7. He said I had missta ted this, and uses very freely the words ,!liar,hypocrite,scoundrel, fec.'' Mr. Glessner, remember you are a grey, haired man, father of a family, soon togo to your grave; thcreforet your age,. if. nothing else, demands my respect , , , . , But let us consider, iirthe Heacoci Courier of October 3d, 18G7, is pub lished the official statement of II. B Wall, County Treasurer, of the grand duplicate of that year. By that pub. lication the County Expense Fund is given as $33,74134. We find the same amount in the report of the Auditor of Slate for 18G7, (page 3G) Now who is responsible,?, who is the liar'' fec., Mr. Glessner? Mr. Wall the Courier, the Stale Auditor, or 'Tax payer ?" ' ' But the Courier says 'that 817,000 of Infirmary Fund is included in this. Let ns see again. Let us admit this. Now we know ' that our County officials sold the stock in the Findlay & Cary Brauch Rail-roau, which the county owned, for about S3000, which was worth, and for which they could have got two or three times as mncb, had they made proper inquiry and exercised ordinary discretion or re gard for the interests of people. There was also in the Treasury over $9,000 surplus Soldiers' Bounty Fund. This sum of $9,000, and over, was trans- fered to the Infirmary fund. Now add this to the County Expense Fund, as given, and we hve about $4t,000. Now, Mr. G., deduct your $17,000 Infirmary Fund, and. we still have about 827,000, as the County Expense Fund of 17G7. But says Mr. Glessner, in hisUast week's Cour ier, "if we had been as diligent to discover truth as to -tell lies, we would have found that there is $6,000 of last year's County Expense Fund yet in Treasury." What do you mean Mr. Glessner ? To what end If you1 mean that the County officers levied $6,000 for that Fund alone (and we don't know how much more of others,) more than was needed then we say, what an unexampled outrage this, at a time, when money was so scarce and hard to get to compel the tax-payers to pay $6,000 more than was needed, and let it lie idle and useless in the Treasury. What gross carelessness and incom petency. If you mean to say that it is there for current expenses the year, then tho fact is patent, you have levied it, it has been paid by the tax-payers, and you admit all we claim. If, finally, you mean that there is 86,000 of this Fund alone in the Treasury, more than needed then, by reference to the County Treasuer's report of the grand dnpli catc, published in the Courier of last week, we find that you have levied for County Expense Fund for the year 1868, $18,0U0. Add to this the $6,000 and we find you levying $24, 000 for County Expense Fund for this year of grace, 18G8. Again we ask, who is '"liar, hypocrite, &c ?" "Tax payer," Mr. Glessner, Courier or .County Treasurer. Mr. Glessner, utop ! you can t explain away the fact of extravagance, carclesbncss, corruption androng in the manage ment ot our tounty by your party The more you stir it up, the worse ycu make it It is bad enough in all conscience ; don't make us blush for our County, and for honesty in man by making it worse On the fourth page of this week's paper we republish the celebrated "Broadhead letter," written by Frank P.'Blair, the Democratic candidate for the. Vice Presidency, in which he proposes to have Congress overawed by Federal bayonets. Not like the noble Grant who says, "Let us have peace," Blair and his co-workers want war,; anarchy and bloodshed. We believe - our people have had enough of that and will vote to car ry out the programme of Gen. Grant We republish this letter at the re quest of a Democrat who says he has not yet seen it. And we charge it upon the Democratic party that their organ has not dared to publish it for the benefit of their readers, notwithstanding they have been re peatedly asked to do so..

Of this amount the State taxes are Sinking'' Fund, 81,628.13; School Fund, 81,763. 97; General Revenue, , $1,356. io. Aoiai, 13.08. jnow, as shown by' my' former articles, the Republican party is responsible but for one of these items, to-wit: $1, 35G of a Revenue Fund.' 'Then we have the Borongh Fond of 85,490.76, being the total amount levied for all purposes, 'such as improvements, general expense fund, cemetery, of ficers, road tax, fire department san itary, AcT Next 'is Township, or Poor . Fund, $1,695 95. Total ! of township and borough, 87,186.71 Next comes the School and School house Fund, levied in the town and township by the several 'Boards of Education, $20,756.70. Last we have the County Tax, levied by Dem ocratic county officials, and for which they are responsible, to-wit: - "Conn ty Expense Fund, $3,188.34 ; Bridge Fund, $1,356.76 ; Surplus Revenue, $339,19; Road Fund, $1,356.76; Infirmary, $2,170.83 ; Special Road Repair, $407.02 ; Special Taxes, $1, 144.82." Total county Democratic tax in Findlay township, $9,963.72. Notwithstanding this exhibit , the Courier, of last week, and the week before, has the effrontery to say that in 1860 the amount of township and borough taxes was $9,889.71 ; and that in 18G8 the same taxes ae $26,- 525, or a Republican increase; jof $29, 1 35. Now, by tho above exhi bit of II. B. Wall, instead of an in crease, there is a decrease of $2,703. Mr. Glessner, are yon a "menda cious ," or has Mr. Wall made a false statement under oath ? Which is it ? As a matter of fact the trus tees of .both .township and borongh made lighter kvies this year than have been made for years.' :' Another fact is true: If yon examine the records of the borough, you will find that our Council have this year made an actual saving in that which, but for them, in road tax, die., would have been an actual loss of over $2, 000. They have been rigidly eco nomical, and notwithstanding the ex tensive improvements now- beine- made,the treasury is in a better coa- dition than for years. ; Now, by the above exhibit, while the State, Township, and Borough taxes are less, the Democratic coun ty taxes are greater nearly $10,- 000, or two-thirds as much as the to tal county taxes paid by the entire county in 1855, twelve years ago. Now. Mr. Glessner, how could you How about CoL Bope, Dunn, Beards- ley, and Gen. Walker being "liars. hypocrites, scoundrels," tc ? Were you sitting before a looking-glasi when you wrote ? We think so. In the above exhibit is 820,000' levied in the Borough for school houses, paying teachers, die. Part of this was levied in the south-west district to pay off bonds issued by them years ago, whereby to get mon cy with which to build their school bouse. The balance, or greater part of it we presume, was levied in the other district for the payment of teachers, tc , and the building of the large, fine house, just completed. Now, Mr. Glessner, if you wish to attach responsibility, you know that two out of three of the School Board, to-wit : Messrs. Galloway and Myers, are Democrats, allhongh the borough is Republican. But we pre sume no Republican, and few Dem ocrats, other than yourself, would seek to attach responsibility here, much less run our schools and edu cation into the filthy mire of Demo cratic politics. The Republicans do not, as is shown by the fact that they have elected two Democrats to the Board, and we hope they never will run these interests into politics. For shame, Mr. Glessner! The truth is, that the people of the dfs trict built the school-house because they needed and wanted it ' They voted for it and paid the taxes cheer- fully,willingly,and gladly.and instead of attaching responsibility and blame to the School Board, are sincerely thankful, and say "well done, good and faithful servants," to Messrs. Harsh, Galloway, and Myers, for their great ability and good taste, their patience and sacrifice display ed and made in the building of -th house ; for they now have one of the fincstbest fornished,and best arrang ed houses in the State one of which they may well be proud. They will soon have one ot the best, and best conducted schools in the State, and one to which young men and women in large numbers are already crowd ing. Mr. Glessner, you can't withdraw the attention ot tax-payers from Democratic county mismanagement extravagance, and wrong, by such miserable evasions as those above cited. Faugh! Mr. G., ont npoa he of or ne the ing of TAX-PAYER. The bold and stirring letter of Frank Blair in favor of that counter revolution for which the people ev erywhere are sighing, and through which alone there is bope or escape from military despotism and barba rous mongrelism, ton cried tne popu- ar heart ; and as tne representative of these counter-revolutionary prin ciples he received the unanimous en the GBO xxw feel Columbus (O.)

The young gentleman who "keeps the books in the Collector's office, rushes into print in a twooolumn article, in last week's Courier, jn an swer to the statement made In the jEFrEBsoxiAiTof the 25th Sept; that the farmers and stock-dealers of Hancock county paid only $549.61 income tax in 1868, and talks in reg ular juvenile style of "sunny hills," "lovely plains,' "bright skies, "lux uriant flowers,' and "gentle dews of Heaven.

This eminent; physician proposes, from the2 size' of the dose he has administered to his readers, to cure before he sickens.

And he, like, the pther Pendleton, Vallandighara, and Brick Pdraferey, has got a policy a financial policy policy by 'which erriation"af debt can be paid, taxes reduced, and inter- eat saved.

He then proceeds: "Let every man pay in, proportion to his substance ; let the rich and tue poor bear this burden alike, in proportion to their means.'' This is the essence of his finan cial policy, and it is about as pro found and impracticable, as any that have been - proposed ; by the great financiers of the party to which be belongs, and ought to recommend him to the distinguished consfderaiij of H.
